[Engine] Non starter.

[eMeSaR]

Greetings all.

Yesterday I pumped 22Lt of diesel out of my now dead Audi a4 b7 & put it into my 1.6 hdi Berlingo.
Went shopping last night no problem. Went to work today, did about 15 miles, no worries.
Received a new key fob case which was much needed as the old one is perforating. Changed the battery in the key fob, put it into the new case.
The car was left unlocked after work. Went to go out this evening, turned the key and it would not start up. The starter turns but no spark.
Is it the old fuel that may have settled some dirt into the bottom of the tank??
The car locks & unlocks with the key fob. But it will not start!!

Now I've tried a reset of the key fob by means of the following instructions found at https://frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/viewt...hp?t=65083 
- "Putting the key in the ignition, turning ignition on and pressing a lock button within 10 seconds, releasing & turning off the ignition, remove the key and wait a few seconds, then reinsert and try starting it."

and also the instructions found at https://www.peugeotrczforum.com/threads/...tery.13069
- "Put the driver’s window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all
equipment is switched off.
Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the
ignition.
Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait
15 seconds.
Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do
not open doors.)
Switch on the side lights through the driver's window.
Switch on the ignition and check system’s functionality.
Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.
remove key open & close door test central locking system
Start the engine and complete the system’s check."

Please help me to get my Berlingo back on the road!!!?

None of that involves the immobilizer chip (transponder) as the central locking uses only the battery part of the key but the security chip is passive and needs no battery. Sounds like you've knocked or dropped the transponder chip from the original key housing.

It won't be the diesel, you've killed the key or lost the chip at least. Did you leave it in the old casing? It's slotted into a little recess in the plastic casing.

The circuit board on OEM keys does not contain the immobilizer chip. It's a tiny black oblong plastic piece, sitting in a shaped hole in the key body or case near the blade end. If it's gone, you have a problem.

Check the old case if you still have it, the chip will be in there and needs moved to the new key shell. If there's no place for it on the new (probably Chinese) case then you need to tape or glue it inside nearest the flip blade or static blade - whichever key style you have.

Post a pic of both keys / cases of you can. We'll spot the chip.
